UFC light heavyweight champion, Jamahal Hill has confirmed his relinquishing of the official undisputed championship this morning, revealing he is set to underdo a surgical procedure to address an achilles rupture, believed to have been suffered during a basketball match during International Fight Week earlier this month.
Hill, the first product of Dana White’s Contender Series to clinch gold under the banner of the UFC, managed to do so back in January in the main event of UFC 283, landing a unanimous decision victory against former champion, Glover Teixeira in the pair’s vacant title fight.
